Pediatric outpatient non-invasive ventilation program: Reflections on the first experience from the Middle East.
Article in Qatar medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Long-term noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is being progressively used in children. The current guidelines recommend NIV initiation in the hospital during overnight polysomnography (PSG) titration study. Due to the logistic, socioeconomic, and financial difficulties including bed availability, an outpatient program for NIV initiation and patients/parents counseling to prevent delay and provide cost-effective care has been commissioned. Hence, this study reports on the clinical outcome of our program as it represents the first reported experience from the middle east. A retrospective review of electronic medical charts was conducted for all patients with PSG-confirmed sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) who were evaluated and treated in the NIV clinic in the pediatric pulmonary clinic at Sidra Medicine from January 2020 to November 2021. Patients' data included demographics, PSG results, and NIV clinic records. The results show that twenty-eight patients (17 male, 11 female) were included during the study period. The patients' median age at NIV initiation was 11 ± 5.17 years. The median BMI was 32.72 ± 15.91 kg/m
